Relaxing. The campsites are spacious with each their own ablution nearby. The bush there is beautiful. We heard hyenas every night and even saw a lioness on a game drive close by. The ablutions are basic, but clean and all you need. We enjoyed it a lot and will be back.

Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! We are truly delighted to hear that you had a wonderful stay at Thorn Tree Bush Camp and that everything – from value for money to cleanliness, location and security – met your expectations. It means a lot to us when guests take the time to leave such a lovely review. Our team works hard to make every visit special, and feedback like this makes it all worthwhile. We hope to welcome you back to the bush soon — where the game calls and memories are made by the fire. Best regards Rodney & the Thorn Tree Team

Baie dankie vir hierdie wonderlike terugvoer! Ons is opreg bly om te hoor dat julle verblyf by Thorn Tree Bush Camp vir julle wonderlik was en dat alles – van waarde vir geld tot netheid, ligging en sekuriteit – aan julle verwagtinge voldoen het. Dit beteken vir ons ongelooflik baie wanneer gaste die moeite doen om só ’n mooi beoordeling te gee. Ons span werk hard om elke besoek spesiaal te maak, en sulke terugvoer maak dit alles die moeite werd. Ons hoop om julle weer gou hier in die bos te verwelkom — waar die wild roep en herinneringe by die vuur gemaak word. Groete Rodney & die Thorn Tree-span

Beautiful. Peaceful. Necessary. Apart from the wild hailstorm, it was so peaceful and nice to stay there. The grounds are beautiful and the owners are very friendly.

Pragtig. Rustig. Nodig. Behalwe vir wilde haelstorm, was dit so rustig en lekker om daar te bly. Terrein is pragtig en eienaars baie vriendelik.

Ai, thanks for the wonderful review! Apart from the wild hailstorm (the bush sometimes keeps us on our toes), we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the tranquility, the beautiful grounds and the hospitality. We hope to welcome you back to Thorn Tree Bush Camp soon — hopefully with milder weather, but still that peaceful bush feeling. Kind regards Rodney & the Thorn Tree Bush Camp team

Aie, dankie vir die wonderlike resensie! Behalwe vir die wilde haelstorm (die bos hou ons soms op ons tone ), is ons bly om te hoor julle het die rustigheid, die pragtige terrein en die gasvryheid geniet. Ons hoop om julle weer binnekort by Thorn Tree Bush Camp te verwelkom — hopelik met sagter weer, maar steeds daardie rustige bosgevoel. Hartlike groete Rodney & die Thorn Tree Bush Camp-span

Comfortable, clean campsite. Kudu stand was comfortable. The shower and toilet are located across the road from the campsite. Water was heated in a "donkey" and we had a lovely hot shower. Friendly staff who kept everything tidy.

Gerieflike, skoon kampplek. Kudu staanplek was gerieflik. Die stort en toilet is oorkant die pad van die kampplek geleë. Daar was water warm gemaak in 'n "donkie" en ons het heerlik warm gestort. Vriendelike staf wat alles netjies hou.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and for taking the time to rate your stay — we’re really glad you had a wonderful time with us. We appreciate the great scores across the board, especially for customer service, cleanliness, and security — our team will be smiling around the fire tonight knowing their efforts were noticed. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another bush escape, perhaps with even more value added by a few extra animal sightings next time. Safe travels, and thank you for choosing Thorn Tree Bush Camp.

Afrikaans, braai, animals, nature. Very nice and peaceful place. Nice and close to everything. Terribly expensive for camping per night, we booked unknowingly during school holidays.

Afrikaans, braai, diere, natuur. Baie lekker rustige plek. Lekker naby alles. Vreeslik duur vir kamp per aand, ons het onbevust oor skoolvakansie gebook.

Wonderful bushveld experience with good service. 10/10 for the warm and friendly way in which guests are received. The staff spoiled us by stoking the donkey every morning and evening so that there was lovely hot water. The private ablution works wonderfully. The grounds are neat and there is extra wood and essentials for sale on site. Just be aware that the campsite is close to the road and that it doesn't get completely quiet - if that is important to you.

Heerlike bosveld-ervaring met goeie diens. 10/10 vir die warm en vriendelike wyse waarop gaste ontvang word. Die personeel het ons bederf deur elke oggend en aand die donkie te stook sodat daar lieflike warm water was. Die privaat ablusie werk wonderlik. Die terrein is netjies en daar is ekstra hout en noodsaaklikhede op perseel te koop. Neem net in ag dat die kampterrein naby aan die pad is en dat dit nie heeltemal stil word nie - indien dit vir jou belangrik sou wees.

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback and for the excellent rating of our reception, staff and facilities. It means a lot to our team. We are particularly pleased that you enjoyed the hot water, private ablution and the neat grounds – our staff are happy to go the extra mile to make our guests’ stay as pleasant as possible. Thank you also for your honest feedback. The traffic you experienced is not typical of the area. Normally the nights at Thorn Tree Bush Camp are very peaceful and quiet. We appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you back to Thorn Tree Bush Camp soon.

Baie dankie vir julle mooi terugvoer en vir die uitstekende beoordeling van ons ontvangs, personeel en geriewe. Dit beteken baie vir ons span. Ons is besonders bly dat julle die warm water, privaat ablusie en die netjiese terrein geniet het – ons personeel doen met graagte daardie ekstra bietjie om ons gaste se verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak. Dankie ook vir julle eerlike terugvoer. Die verkeer wat julle ervaar het, is nie tipies van die area nie. Normaalweg is die nagte by Thorn Tree Bush Camp baie rustig en stil. Ons waardeer julle besoek en hoop om julle weer binnekort by Thorn Tree Bush Camp te verwelkom.

Nice and close to the forest. It was nice. Just a tip or so. Due to the location in Dinokeng, conservation fees and a self-drive permit are payable which was not known in advance when we selected. It would be good if this was clearly shown on the advertisement. I also took it up with the owner who took it as positive tips.

Lekker naby en in die bos. Dit was lekker. Net 'n wenk of wat. Weens die ligging in Dinokeng is bewaringfooie en 'n selfrypermit betaalbaar wat nie vooraf bekend was tydens ons keuse nie. Dit sal goed wees as dit duidelik op die advertensie getoon word. Ek het dit ook met die eienaar opgeneem wat dit as positiewe wenke opgeneem het.

Hi, thank you so much for your feedback and for visiting us – we really appreciate it. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed it, and thank you also for the tip regarding the conservation fees and self-drive permit. That is definitely a valid point. We have taken note of it and have already addressed it – the information should now be more clearly included in our email communications, and we have also updated our messages to highlight it better. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention – it helps us to continue to improve. We hope to welcome you back to Thorn Tree Bush Camp soon! Regards Rodney

Hi, baie dankie vir jou terugvoer en dat julle by ons kom kuier het – ons waardeer dit opreg. Ons is bly om te hoor julle het dit geniet, en dankie ook vir die wenk rakende die bewaringfooie en selfrypermit. Dis beslis ’n geldige punt. Ons het kennis geneem daarvan en dit reeds aangespreek – die inligting behoort nou duideliker ingesluit te wees in ons e-poskommunikasie, en ons het ook ons boodskappe opgedateer om dit beter uit te lig. Baie dankie dat julle dit onder ons aandag gebring het – dit help ons om aan te hou verbeter. Ons hoop om julle weer binnekort by Thorn Tree Bush Camp te verwelkom! Groete Rodney

The kids loved it. Doing it again. Everyone, including staff, was very kind, friendly and available to assist. The place is calm, clean and silent. No noisy neighbours either.

Wonderful experience! Wonderful experience! Very neat campsites, each with a tap, bin, convenient braai and bathroom with hot water. We really enjoyed being able to watch the bird and animal life from the camp. Even a white rhino and a family of bushbucks passed by!

Wonderlike ervaring! Wonderlike ervaring! Baie netjiese kampeerplek, elk met kraan, asblik, gerieflike braai en badkamer met warm water. Ons het dit vreeslik geniet om die voël- en dierelewe vanuit die kamp ook te kon dop hou. Self 'n witrenoster en familie boscarke het verbygekom!

Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at Thorn Tree Bush Camp – it is always special when guests also experience the wildlife from the camp itself. How incredible to see a white rhino and a family of bushbucks passing by so close! Our team works hard to keep each stand neat, comfortable and peaceful – and it makes our day to hear that you appreciated it. Until we meet again in the bush, may the memories of campfires and birdsong stay with you for a long time. Kind regards, The Thorn Tree Bush Camp Team

Baie dankie vir hierdie wonderlike terugvoer! Ons is so bly om te hoor julle het julle tyd by Thorn Tree Bush Camp geniet – dis altyd spesiaal wanneer gaste ook die natuurlewe uit die kamp self beleef. Hoe ongelooflik om ’n witrenoster en ’n familie boscarke so naby te sien verbykom! Ons span werk hard om elke staanplek netjies, gerieflik en rustig te hou – en dit maak ons dag om te hoor dat julle dit waardeer het. Tot ons mekaar weer in die bos ontmoet, mag die herinneringe aan kampvure en voëlgesang nog lank by julle bly. Vriendelike groete, Die Thorn Tree Bush Camp-span
